I'm now in Beijing...I didn't know but blogging of any sort is not allowed in China. Well that's not stopping me. I guess you can say I'm breaking the law by blogging now. I left off with Hong Kong. HK is definitely different from any asian city I've been to so far. It's like the Manhattan of the east. Everyone actually follows the traffic rules. I got so used to walking into traffic that it took me a while to realize I needed to follow the signs and actually wait for a green light before crossing the street. I reunited with my friend Minh and did a little bit of exploring with him. I also met up with my friend Gigi. She took us out for the best hot pot I've had in my life! It was so good I know any hot pot I have back home will not even come close. I also got to see the big Buddha which in my opinion is highly commercialized. Christmas music in the background while visiting this site kinda kills the meaning of Buddhism.
HK is a must when visiting China. It's basically a different country. They have their own language, currency, and culture. If I were to move to asia, this would be a city I would most likely move to. The opportunities here are endless.
I'm just excited to know I have access to the world once again haha. I will post again from Beijing as soon as I can get some clearer thoughts. It's late here and this post is probably not as exciting as the rest.
